DDK Download?

Where can i download the driver dev kit for 2k? They try to sell me a CD when i goto the crummy micro$haft page. Weren't they required by the courts to provide this information free? And if i cant get the whole DDK, where can i at the very least get the headers i need to compile some code? GRR.

When i clicked on order the cd they wanted 299$ which is bs. I would like to get my hands on this stuff but googleing turned up nothing useful. Is any of it free to download? Why are they asking money for it? Dont they want people to develop hardware that runs on their OS>?
